Watch: Kamala’s bizarre farewell message

Credit: Kamala Harris

Farewell, Kamala Harris. It’s been a brutal fortnight for the outgoing Vice President. Following her devastating loss on 5 November, the failed nominee has been subjected to days of vicious briefing and revelations about her dreadful campaign. Whether it was spending millions on celebrity endorsements or getting rejected by the ‘Hot Ones’ podcast, the Democrat bid of 2024 will be remembered for all the wrong reasons.

But for those who fear that Kamala’s loss means an end to her infamous gaffes: don’t despair! There are already reports that the defeated VP now plans to run for California Governor. Nixon, without the charm, if you will. Well, if anyone can make Gavin Newsom look like a statesman, it’s surely the woman who coined such aphorisms as ‘A friend in need is a friend in need.’

And, for comedy lovers everywhere, there was one final treat last night. The Democrats’ Twitter/X account posted a post-recorded thank-you video for her supporters in which she managed to stutter and stumble her way through 30 seconds of words:

I just have to remind you, don’t let anybody take your power from you.
